Its because so many things are coming together i mean the World Food Program and this year will feed 100000000 people in over 80 countries but that was because of war or conflict of Climate Change now on top of that we have another crisis the covert crisis to corona crisis and what were seeing is that people out of work in many places governments are scrambling how to take care of their people their economies are collapsing so we are extremely concerned that our usual work of feeding those 100000000 people will not be happening because we will not get the money thats our big concern we have people tell the world lets avoid this crisis give us the money so we can take care of these people and their cover crisis is really making everything much much more extreme we see it around the globe what is happening but our big concern of course does super hungry people people who are very close to starvation who are now much more impacted then ever before your report also talks about displaced people in countries like afghanistan iraq and bangladesh especially at risk which communities in these countries are you most worried about. Most worried about refugee camps for example where people die in very very close contact thats a lot in african countries but its also in a place like bangladesh where there are have fled to were worried about how we can practice social distancing how should that work and we dont we are taking measures were making sure that theres bigger distance between the various people when they pick up our food but the important thing is this we need to act now with the World Food Program is doing now is were prepositioning food for the next 3 months in the hardest hit countries so we can feed those people and then of course we also help the whole you and your response to the coronavirus disease you said you worry that you might not get the money you need and as we know economies around the world are struggling so what is your message to governments about why its important to help here.

Lets bring in Fabienne Schmidt from d. W. Science for more on the story hi fabienne and thanks for joining us what more can you tell us about this vaccine and the Clinical Trials. Yes the press conference of buying taxi company that produces a vaccine and polish institute which is of basically the german institutions its pursuing vixen development and also basically helping going along the process is just finished and what we learned is that it is an empower and a vaccine which means that as a genetic a part of the genetic code off the corona virus that is harmless however is brought into the cells was a help of socalled leap peter nano particles is a little particles that brings the. Basic is a genetic code of c. Sing in there and then some kind of proteins develop multiply and that triggers it in one immune response this is not the completely new vaccine but its hasnt been used really for vaccine against coronaviruses in the past it was something developed for Cancer Research so for fighting cancer and therefore its not really clear how its going to go its one of 4 big scene sets a company biome take is going is having in the pipeline right now and is also going to. Be running through the process was a polish institute and of course its only one of many vaccines that different pharma pharmaceutical companies are. Developing right now on different medical platforms f. I. B. Said of course its not clear yet the how its going to work because we have to wait for Clinical Trials to be conducted but how promising is this vaccine how confident is the company and what theyve created. As the company is fairly confident that one of the 4 vaccines that they have in the pipeline will work. As a polish Institute Director was a little bit more cautious didnt want to commit himself to any statement there but basically the point is is that this were talking about phase one phase one is only there to test was as a vaccine has on the in the unwanted effects on the patients and maybe to look a little bit into the immune response but really thats the task of the 2nd phase which. As a politician situ has sent to allow after june or in some point in june saw the 1st phase take 6 weeks the next phase probably at least as long as were not talking about a Vaccine Development thats going to come very fast and also it may be that in the meantime as of it seems that also in the pipeline may prove better or more effective as the immune response is stronger or maybe you have less side effects that you dont want to write 5 inch metric to the science for us thank you.
